Pushing her sweaty hair away from her face, May leaned back to pop her back.

There was a new batch that needed their wings clipped, and May had just spent the whole afternoon chasing them back in the pen. She would have to help her father clip them tomorrow, since her mother refused to go anywhere near the geese after multiple...incidents.

She had a feeling by the end of the day tomorrow, they might be having quite a bit of roast goose. Which might not be terrible. Katniss and Peeta were suppose to have company coming today.

In fact, he should be getting here any moment. She wandered to the front of the house, climbing up on the fence to sit and watch wile she rested. She had met Cerni a few times, here and there. There were only so many Victors left, and so their circles passed together. Besides the little ones next door, they were the only children of victors.

Still, it had been years. It would be a lie to say she wasn't curiouse. And excited.

Cerni looked up as he and his mother walked into the rebuilt Victor's Village. Not that they called it that anymore. He saw the blond girl sitting on the fence and frowned slightly. She looked oddly familiar but he couldn't remember seeing her before. He turned and whispered to his mother, asking who she was.

At her equally quiet answer, he looked back curiously at the girl. He'd heard so many stories about both her parents. She didn't look much like what he'd heard about them, sitting on the fence like that. Unfortunately, that didn't keep him from feeling slightly intimidated. And her age made it worse. After all, the older girls at school seemed to think everyone under sixteen was a nuisance. He knew Aunt Katniss and Uncle Peeta had a son and a daughter but they were still little. Well, he'd probably spend most of his time with the grown-ups like he usually did.
